I get the feeling that, rather than it being too expensive to produce SGA and SGU, it was too expensive to produce SGU in the manner in which Wright and Cooper planned, and have to worry about funding Atlantis at the same time. I would just bet, that if you factor in Carlyle's salary, in addition to the other actors salaries, new sets and CGI, it will be more expensive than a 6th season of Atlantis. They just didn't want Atlantis anymore and it was kicked to the curb. Saying the SGA actor's salaries were the cause is obviously a misstatement.
